Fairy Tail: Unbearable Truth

Dont leave

"This should be the trail." Lily said.

Natsu finally calmed down and Lucy had a brighter aura surrounding her.

Rielle seemed to have been distracted by a waterfall near by.

"Rielle, come on."Natsu said. But whatever he tried. The words couldn't get through to them.

The water fall. The place where it all began. When Rielle met Natsu when Igneel left him.

*******19 years ago

The Natsu was 7, that's when he met Rielle, when she was 15.

"Hey... Igneel where are you.?" Natsu wandered around, searching for his Dad. "Igneel. Can you hear me?" Natsu became more discouraged after each call he made.

"Igneel! Igneel!" No answer came. He was at his secret home where they stayed for the past years when Igneel raised him.

<Rielle>

I didn't know if it was just me or I'm actually hearing someone crying. It was difficult to know because the waterfall nearby was blocking the sound.

That's when I came closer to the waterfall. Witnessing a boy,  I was him sitting on the rocks  sobbing to himself.

"Is he lost..?" I thought. When I walked closer he seem to notice.

"Igneel?!" He blurted to find out it wasn't him. His light almost was dim enough to black.

That time, Rielle didn't wear a mask, her clothing then was more lose, a black skirt, maroon red leather jacket, knee boots, and even her hair was a longer as well.

"Are you okay?" Rielle asked.

He shook his head. "Do you know where Igneel is?" He asked, pulling in my sleeve.

"Igneel..?"

"My dad, he's a dragon." He sniffled while she came closer.

Rielle pulled him in close and held him,

"I'm sorry." She also had a similar problem where her foster father had disappeared too that day without a single word.

"He's gone..." Natsu repeated.

"Don't worry, he'll be back soon. My dragon is gone as well." Rielle spoke, "let's wait together."

"Dragon...?" He inched back.

"Yes, you know how they are, once there child is grown up enough to be alone they leave  more often on their own and come back. Unless your dragon is testing you."

"Testing?" He wiped his tears away. 

"Maybe he's not far and is just watching to see if your'e strong enough on your own. He'll come back. I promise."

Natsu sighed and slapped his cheeks. The sudden movement startled Rielle and she slightly smiled. When Natsu made eye contact with her, he asked a question.

"Your eyes are like melting silver, grey and white, why is that?"

Rielle was surprised by the suddenness, something that never really crossed her mind.

"Because I was born with them." She patted his back.

He seemed to believe it enough and leaned his head on her shoulder silently.

"Say, how about you come with me to my guild. Lets wait for Igneel together." Rielle could only give him hope in the mere moment, Of course, she didn't really know how to comfort a child and thought it was the best approach even thought she knew what had happened with his drahon. "You can search for him from there as well." She insisted.

"Guild..?"

"Yes, Fairy Tail."
